Abstract:

13 representative height-diameter models were used to simulate correlation of dominant height-diameter in natural Quercus mixed forests.Models with high goodness-of-fit were selected as the foundational model for building dominant height-diameter model with stand types and site types dummy variable.Results showed that mean dominant height models fitted better than maximum dominant height model,the dummy-variable-included models had higher goodness of fit than the foundational models.Stand type and site type dummy variable with mean dominant height had the same formula: $ H=1.3+\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{i} \times Z_{i} \times D_{g} /(D_{g}+1)+b \times D_{g}$ and the site type dummy variable model (R2=0.9775) fitted better than forest type dummy variable model (R2=0.711 9).It was able to improve the applicability and accuracy of dominant height-diameter models for mixed Quercus forest based on dummy variable,which provided support and reference for establishing regional generalized bio-math models and amending site quality assessment of mixed Quercus forests in area coverage.

Key words: mixed Quercus forest, dominant tree, height-diameter models, dummy variable
